Avg ?

My pc-cillin subscription finally ran out and I decided to try AVG Free edition. Is this an ok move or should I dump it and run out to buy pc-cillin 2003?

It has email scanning and all the regular protection...

Re: Avg ?

I use the free version and I like it.
Its saved me from a couple of viruses in the last month.
The only thing is the updater seems to have a bit of a problem at the moment.

AVG Free works fine for me. Never had a problem with infection tho.

I used AVG for a little while, and I sorta liked it. I recently found out about avast, and I loved it even more. It does come with a free version, and is quite actively updated

Mcafee is updated to version 8 now, and I heard it had a much easier and cleaner interface, but don't they all say that anyways?

btw: make sure you register for your free serial number first
